Inside the experience.
Football beyond match day
The Grounds brings social spaces, kickabouts, one-on-one games and Clubs together. This mode is restricted to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC and Nintendo Switch 2.
Build a club your way
Manager Career introduces active bidding and revised negotiations in its transfer market. Ultimate Team adds a FUT Gallery for collecting and displaying player items.
Read the edition carefully
EA advertises up to seven days of early access beginning September 18 for eligible editions. Mode availability and edition bonuses need to be checked against the exact platform version.
GO ONE LEVEL DEEPER
The player’s field guide.
The version you choose matters: the social football experience has a narrower platform list than the game itself.
The Grounds and Clubs
The Grounds combines social spaces, kickabouts, 1v1 games and Clubs. EA limits this mode, including Clubs, to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC and Nintendo Switch 2. Check this before coordinating a purchase with friends.
Career progression
Manager Career adds active transfer bidding and revised negotiations. Career is the natural place to explore a season-long club project; it should not be confused with collecting player items in Ultimate Team.
Ultimate Team
EA’s overview introduces FUT Gallery for displaying a collection. Mode-specific features and rewards should be checked in the current FUT documentation, rather than assumed from last year’s game.
Access dates
The worldwide launch is September 25. EA advertises up to seven days of eligible early access from September 18. Entitlement, platform and regional unlock details must match your exact edition.
